Install Apache

Apache is an open-source, multi-platform web server. It provides a full range of web server features including CGI, SSL and virtual domains.

Change to root user using the following command:

su

Enter the following command to install Apache:

In Fedora 22:

dnf install httpd -y

In Fedora 21 and earlier versions:

yum install httpd -y

Enable the httpd service to start automatically on every reboot:

systemctl enable httpd

Start httpd service using the following command:

systemctl start httpd

If you are encountered with the following error:

Job for httpd.service failed. See 'systemctl status httpd.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

Delete all contents in your /etc/hostname file and add the word “localhost”. Also set “localhost“ to the “Servername” value in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file and try again to start httpd service.

And adjust the firewall to allow the httpd service to access it from remote clients.

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=https

Restart firewalld service:

firewall-cmd --reload

Test Apache:

Open up your browser and enter http://ip-address/ in the address bar. You will see the following Apache default page.

If you see the above output, then Congratulations! Apache is working!

Install MariaDB

MariaDB is a drop in replacement for MySQL. It is a robust, scalable and reliable SQL server that comes rich set of enhancements. The default database in Fedora 19 is MariaDB.

Install it using the following command:

In Fedora 22:

dnf install mariadbmariadb-server -y

In Fedora 21 and earlier versions:

yum install mariadbmariadb-server -y

Enable mariadb service at boot time with following command:

systemctl enable mariadb

And start mariadb service using command:

systemctl start mariadb

Set MariaDB root password:

By default mysql root user password is empty. So, to prevent unauthorized access to mysql databases, let us set a root user password:

mysql_secure_installation

NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB
SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE! PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!
In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user. If you've just installed MariaDB, and
you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.
Enter current password for root (enter for none):
OK, successfully used password, moving on...
Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MariaDB
root user without the proper authorisation.
You already have a root password set, so you can safely answer 'n'.
Change the root password? [Y/n] y ## Enter 'y' and press enter ##
New password: ## Enter password ##
Re-enter new password: ## Re-enter password ##
Password updated successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
... Success!
By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for
them. This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother. You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] ## Press Enter ##
... Success!
Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'. This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] ## Press Enter ##
... Success!
By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
access. This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] ## Press Enter ##
- Dropping test database...
ERROR 1008 (HY000) at line 1: Can't drop database 'test'; database doesn't exist
... Failed! Not critical, keep moving...
- Removing privileges on test database...
... Success!
Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] ## Press Enter ##
... Success!
Cleaning up...
All done! If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure.
Thanks for using MariaDB!
